A New Chapter in Irish Countryside Charm

The scene unfolds in a picturesque home nestled within the rolling hills of Ireland. The serene setting mirrors the idyllic backdrop seen in "The Banshees of Inisherin." Inside this quaint abode, Keoghan sits beside Don Mosley, a donkey set to steal hearts in Squarespace's upcoming Super Bowl spot. The two watch a preview clip where Keoghan is seen riding Don, underscoring the bond between man and animal. Building an online identity has never been more accessible or enjoyable. As Keoghan navigates Squarespace’s user-friendly interface, he engages Don in decisions about the website design. “You like green, yeah?” Keoghan asks, emphasizing the personalized touch that can be achieved through Squarespace. Moments later, they finalize their creation. “You’ll be working in no time,” Keoghan reassures Don, encapsulating the simplicity and effectiveness of building a professional online presence.

Proud Irish Roots and Global Appeal

Keoghan's pride in his heritage shines through as he reflects on the campaign. “I’m a very proud Irish lad so bringing this campaign to life with Squarespace and shooting it against the beautiful backdrop of Ireland was incredible,” he shares. Director Steve Rogers masterfully captures the essence of Squarespace's capabilities while weaving in a compelling narrative that resonates with viewers worldwide. This collaboration not only highlights the platform's features but also offers a glimpse into the charm of Ireland.

The Legacy of Animal Stars in Film

Animals have long played pivotal roles in cinema, none more memorable than Jenny the Donkey from "The Banshees of Inisherin." Rita Moloney, the film’s animal trainer, recounts how director Martin McDonagh instantly connected with Jenny. The miniature donkey became an integral part of the cast, generating buzz during award season. After the 2023 Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel had to clarify that the donkey brought on stage was not Jenny but Dominic, an L.A.-based donkey. Such moments underscore the enduring appeal of these charismatic creatures and their ability to captivate audiences.

Featuring Keoghan and Don Mosley, the ad will premiere when the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans on February 9. The commercial promises to entertain and inspire, showcasing the platform’s potential to empower individuals and businesses alike in creating impactful online presences.
